The rest of us are mere mortals.
Thanks for sharing all that you do.

Finished pulling (1 of 2)...:dr

(sorry for the crappy picture, but it was early, and I was tired. I may be getting too old to stay up smoking meat, enjoying fine cigars, and drinking...naw! :banger)

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Hmmm, gonna make some brisket chilli. Actually found a Smokin Gator brisket chilli recipe at the Bretheren. Hey Brent, that your recipe?

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

mhmm makes me miss grilling weather. Hoping to get a Webber for the apartment this year, and while I won't be on ya'lls level of smoking, I'm gonna try my best!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Rubbed a couple of racks of ribs last night that will go on the smoker today along with a pan of apple pie baked beans and whatever else I can find around here to throw on.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I am just too fat to be messing with it now. My only mirror in the house only goes to the nipples.
I have been lulled to sleep by a lack of visual cues. I am past fat now, and must handle my issues
before I fire up the smoker again. Sad but true. I have only had one can of soda at work in a year
and I have stopped visiting Big Lahts for piles of reduced snacks and I STILL can't kick the problem.
A lesson to all of you who smoke the OTHER white meat, the cigarettes. It is a great, great thing to quit,
but where it leaves you after is mercilessly cruel. If my lungs were not the reason I quit, I would start
smoking again.

And now back to the non-depressing part of our thread.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

did a couple pizzas last night. one on a stone, the other on a cast-iron. the stone's crust was better (though they both were great!!)

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

That would be mine:D

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Doing a batch of 15 ABTs for the game. I hate making 'em, but I sure do love eaten' 'em!!!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I took yours and the mofo brisket chilli and played best of both worlds. Came out awesome. I don't think I'll ever want to make chili another way again.

What a great way to get rid of over 2lbs of frozen smoked brisket that was gettin a little old in the freezer.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Finally got around to using the new King Kooker bullet smoker. It was AMAZING! Smoked some Bratwurst at first to test it out and then threw on some beef ribs. It was a great day of smoking as I had some Russian River brews and a few great cigars to keep me company. Methinks I might be smoking every weekend :tu

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Nice. Before you know it, you'll be needing a larger belt. :r

We cook beef ribs a lot because my girlfriend won't eat pork. On some special occassions we have purchased them from Von Hansons in Chandler and they are TERRIFIC, but cost a small fortune. Like $20 per rack. They are very good though because they are cut thick.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I've been wanting to try some beef ribs but at the grocery store meat counter they always look like they're all bone. Might have to stop into Von Hanson's to get a rack to test out.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Ask the butcher to see a cryopack of ribs out of the freezer, for the larger chains it seems to be that typically it's the meat processing and packing facility that gouges out all the meat, but sometimes you get lucky.

$20 a rack? And from a real butcher / meat locker, and not a grocery store? That's cheap compared to out here.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Hoodie AND a flannel!!....musta got down to 65 in Florida...:r

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Right at 65* :)

Remember Keith, it's not the temperature...it's the humidity :r

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

:r:r.....just what I was thinking!!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

everything's cheap compared to out here!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I don't think they do the ribs there. Von Hanson's is a chain. I think the ribs come from some central processing plant somewhere. Also, the racks themselves are smaller even though there is more meat on the bone. It's like they cut them in half or something. Even still, the cuts are much nicer than what you get in the grocery store.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Well BGE came through on their warranty and approved the replacement of my Large BGE base. Got it ordered through my local dealer and it will hopefully be here Friday, then the egg will be back in action!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

:tu:tu

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Good to hear they back their products!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I never knew about Von Hansons. Thank you! The only butcher I was aware of was the Butcher Shop in Central Phoenix and the Pork House in Queen Creek. I'll have to check them out and let you know what I think :tu

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

If you are buying beef ribs in Phoenix from a place that's name doesn't make you roll at least one R you are doing it wrong. :2:

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Just picked up a rack of beef ribs and a butt and some jerky meat out of the reduced rack at the Jiggly Piggly.
Turns out it was the Chee-wees making me fat, lol. I agree on the beef ribs though, I am not sure if it is in the
way they cut the ribeye away from the bone or that they gouge the meat out for stew meat or WHAT they do,
but beef ribs in a grocery store are a JOKE, an EXPENSIVE, BONY joke. Still at a .75 a bone, ehh, I tossed em
in the buggy.

I am going to season the butt and leave it in a ziplock all peppered up til the weekend. That ought to make for
a nice smoke on Friday night. It's a small cut. Those are the ones I like to smoke. I have an abundance of fresh
garlic too, so I might poke some toes into that butt. Sheesh, out of context, that sounds nasty.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

gonna try my hand at a fatty tomorrow. gonna fill it with pepperoni, hard salami, jalepeno's, mozzerella, and a garlic tomato paste. sounds good!!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Anyone know of a good website that talks about smoking and smoking different types of meet. Something like the barbecutpitboys site comes to mind. Is there anything like that out there?

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I have done quite a bit of smoking and I'm not familiar with this? could you elaborate or pics/link. thanks.

Amazing Ribs is great.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

By the way, we are doing ribs this weekend so my girlfriend went to Von Hansons to get some beef ribs and they were over $30. So I was a bit off with my original $20 estimate. ;s

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I found a spectacular rack at Piggly Wiggly Friday afternoon to go with the vulture-picked-lookin rack
I had in a bag covered with rub in the fridge. It looked like it had been just carved off the carcass
with no gouging or saving of the good meat on the whole ribeye. I gave the inferior rack to the landlady
and ate one rib immediately and cut the rest up for lunch next week. I never did get a decent shot of
the whole rack, so I offer only this delicious single rib right before I ate it.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Took these 2 weeks ago and forgot to post.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

How do you make jerkey, Peter? What cuts do you use, and what temps?

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Check the Recipes forum. I posted it there.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I kind of prefer my jerky out of the food dehydrator I bought, but if I ever want the smoked flavor I guess
I can do it thatta way. I kind of like a more pure meat flavor, although I used some Goya Chipotle Mojo
Marinade for my salt and flavor agent this time and it rocked. I usually use one of those special hybrid sauces
that's kind of a thin cross between worcesteshire and soy sauce and steak sauce, the regional brand I use
is Dale's. But that Chipotle Mojo was cheap and I like the flavor better. Smoky and spicy.

This is a page for the product I was talking about, but I paid 1.95 for the 24 oz bottle at El Supermercado.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Great looking jerky Peter!!

Brad, I do my jerky with a combination. I put it on the smoker for about 45 minutes at something around 180. Then I finish it in the dehydrator. That way I get a bit of smoke flavor but my seasoning can shine through.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

That would actually be better for me, more HASSLE, but easier to wash the trays.
If they go on the dehydrator already dry on the outside, they would not leave stuck
on 'flavor slather' dried on my trays. Even with a soaking, it is hard to get it all off.

I'm having a great morning thus far! Started smoking some chicken and brats early this morning. I'll move on to some Pork Belly when they are doing. Enjoying a brew and a CoRo as well :tu
